Hi fellow scoobidites

Is it easy to top up the gearbox oil if it running low i found the gearbox oil dipstick beside the downpipe and it looks low. Do i just pour the oil into where the dipstick goes and which grade of oil do i use?

Best to drain the old oil and refill using a funnel via the dip stick. Red line heavy duty shockproof gear oil 75w 140 is the best. You can purchase this from Opieoils you will need 3.5 litres

i used castrol sintrax and its still going.
theres a funnel on castrol can.

 

Subaru recomend Castrol Syntrax 75w90 as this has an addative in it to help your Baulk Rings work correctly.

If you drain the G/box you will need exactly 3.5Ltrs to bring it up to the correct level.
